Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (180°C) and get two baking sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine your gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, then set this mixture aside for now.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes soft and creamy—this should take about 2 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once that’s done, add in the egg and mix until everything is well blended.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms, which should take around 2 minutes.

6. Step 6

   With your dough ready, shape it into delightful 1 1/2-inch balls.

7. Step 7

   In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon to create a sweet topping.

8. Step 8

   Roll each dough ball in this cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place them on your prepared baking sheets, giving them a little space to spread.

9. Step 9

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
